Karey Solano of Lodosa has filed a contest to close the factory and fire the 36 workers
The company Karey Solano in Lodosa has submitted a settlement procedure for the closure of the rubber factory for footwear soles and the dismissal of the 36 people who currently make up the workforce, most of them senior workers and over 50 on average.
The company's union representation has been made up of three CCOO delegates who have denounced in a statement that the management "has acted in bad faith", withheld information from them and "deceived the workers".
The competition was presented on 25 June, and, according to the committee, the delegates were not notified. They say that during that period, measures could have been taken to prevent further indebtedness.
The committee added that the company had informed them that the earnings from the previous year could last until September 2025, but "the management's real intention was to liquidate the company, leaving the workers on the streets and without charging."
CCOO has denounced the situation of "precariousness and uncertainty" of the workforce, which received the July payroll late and has not yet received the August payroll. In addition, he said the management intends to "lay off the workers with the minimum legal compensation and send them to FOGASA."
The union has requested a meeting from the Navarre Government to mediate on the closure and for the company to pay compensation. CCOO says the latest moves by the company show that the company wants to avoid paying debts and compensation.
